# What's premiering
Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour Zenni Stage 6 Presented by Toyota at Grand Lake — filmed earlier in 2026 in Grove, Oklahoma — will premiere Saturday on the Discovery Channel. The footage covers the four-day tournament hosted by the City of Grove and the Grove Convention and Tourism Bureau.
# Who competed and what was at stake
Fifty-one of the top professional bass anglers in the world made up the field. The tournament carried a total purse of $600,000, including a top payout of $125,000. Anglers also competed for Angler of the Year (AOY) points that matter for qualifying to the Kubota Heavy Hitters all‑star event and REDCREST 2027, the Bass Pro Tour championship.
# How the tournament worked
The event used MLF's multi-round structure with weights reset between key rounds:
- Days 1–2: Two-day Qualifying Round. The pro with the heaviest combined two-day total advanced directly to the Championship Round.
This format means early consistency can secure an automatic Championship berth, while other contenders must reset and fish for single-day performance in later rounds.
